Jasmine Cooper, 24, of East Point is locked up in the Coweta County Jail without bond after allegedly refusing to stop for deputies following an accident in which another motorist struck her car.
Deputies say Cooper’s car was stopped in the travel lanes of I-85 when another car struck her vehicle. She apparently then drove off down the highway, but was followed by a witness who called 911. When deputies pulled up to her car, they say she refused to pull over. But her crippled car was going slow and the back tire was about to come off. They performed the PIT maneuver and then pinned her car against the median when she tried to drive away a second time.
Deputies say they took her to Piedmont Newnan Hospital to be checked out. They say she became upset and kicked over and broke some medical equipment. They added that to her tally of charges for the evening.
Cooper has been charged with:
- Suspended Registration
- Fleeing
- Hit and Run
- Stopping/parking prohibited in specified places
- No valid insurance
- Criminal damage to property 2nd degree.
She was being held without bond at the Coweta County Jail.
